Police: Woman arrested after officer fight

Amarillo police arrested a woman on charges of aggravated assault on a peace officer Wednesday after authorities said she got in a fight with an officer and was stunned with a Taser.

An Amarillo police corporal suffered a head laceration during the melee, and was taken to a local hospital, where she received stitches and was released, police said.

Brandi Nicole Reeves, 32, was transported to the Potter County jail, where she was booked on charges of disorderly conduct and aggravated assault on a peace officer.

Shortly after 9 a.m. Wednesday, police were dispatched to 404 S. Crockett St. on a disorderly conduct call about a woman who was throwing clothing and other items from a house into the street, police said.

Cpl. Donna Hill approached the residence and began talking to a female occupant, who became agitated and began cursing at Hill, who told the woman to pick up the items, police said.

The woman continued cursing at the officer, who attempted to calm her down, but the woman became more confrontational, police said.

Hill then attempted to arrest the woman, who tried to retreat into the house and slam the door in the officer’s face, police said. Hill pursued the woman, and a brawl ensued, authorities said.

After stunning the woman with a Taser, officers placed her in handcuffs and took her into custody. During the struggle, Hill struck her head on a table, but her injuries were not life-threatening, police said.
